[00:18] sudo find / -iname 'mysql*' -exec rm -rf {} \; [00:18] i get cannot remove...... operation not permitted [00:20] anyone have any idea why that command doesnt work? even as sudo? [00:21] seems like a bad idea to run that [00:21] i didnt ask if it was a good idea or bad idea [00:21] I know [00:22] your running sudo find, but not sudo rm [00:22] sudo -i && bla bla [00:25] why does removing mysql not remove it completely [00:25] i want EVERYTHING to do with mysql to be deleted [00:26] i deleted, it and then when i reinstalled it, now its screwed [00:26] mysql command isnt found [00:27] glick, and on what ubuntu version? [00:27] 19.04 [00:28] i want to completely uninstall and completely reinstall [00:28] so your action is not supported by us, you knew that, fix it yourself? [00:28] OerHeks: ? what? [00:29] interesting is what you are going to try next [00:29] apt autoremove? clean? [00:30] OerHeks: instead of insulting me, if you dont want to help me, jsut ignore me [00:32] what's the goal [00:32] to uninstall mysql completely and reinstall it [00:33] sudo apt purge mysql-server && sudo apt install mysql-server [00:34] when i try to reinstall i get error codes [00:35] pastebin it [00:38] ok fixed it [00:38] what a pain in the butt [00:58] :q === zbenjamin is now known as Guest33523 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:24] /set weechat.color.status_data_highlight 163 [01:25] sorry :S configuring wechat obviously :P [01:28] there is a #test channel on #freenode [01:32] thank you! :) [01:37] hello [01:38] anyone for an help?

What's the best way to make gnome aware of new changes in .desktop files? For example I removed a .desktop file, yet it's still being used by gnome. I've tried what I used in the best: update-desktop-database, but it seems only a logout does what I want. Is there another way? [02:07] i think that action forces you to logout, to fix, by design, and when you login, the database might be 'restored'? [02:08] not sure, i never tried to recreate the .desktop file(s) like that [02:16] I’m running Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS. I'm trying to send output from the TunTap's TUN driver over a wifi link using NAT in the iptables. I’ve enabled net filter logging and can’t seem to grasp why this is not working.

Noticed several packages, that after a d-r-u from 16.04 to 18.04 are showing as preferring, and having still installed, the 16.04 versions ("installed, local"). I'm seeing the 16.04 package have higher priority (100) vs the current [06:50] release (500) [07:19] oh fooey; packages come from -proposed but I disabled that for stability :) [07:22] Just noticed a nasty 'gotchya' from a couple of PPAs that publish same-version packages for multiple releases, and append the release name using the ~ versioning. A d-r-u from Xenial (16.04) to Bionic (18.04) fails to upgrade such packages because 'x' is greater than 'b' in the ~xenial vs ~bionic version string!

Two log-files you can check. "sudo less /var/log/auth.log" (press uppercase G to goto end of file and work backwards for clues) and also, in case the GUI is crashing, "less $HOME/.xsession-errors" [08:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates#Using_the_.22unattended-upgrades.22_package does not work for me... "sudo unattended-upgrades -d" works fine. Looking at /var/log/unattended-upgrades I can see that cron is starting it but "o=Ubuntu,a=bionic-updates" is missing from the allowed origins when run from systemd? Why would manual runs be different? [08:11] TJ-: yeah i can get the top of the PDF printed on a page in landscape by manually fiddling with the scaling [08:11] bleb: what program are you using to view/print the PDF? [08:11] TJ-: evince [08:13] bleb: seems like it only has a Page Options > Scale manual option [08:15] bleb: oh no, Page Handling > Page Scaling > Fit to printable area + maybe auto-rotate and centre [08:15] yeah but that shrinks the whole thing [08:15] TJ-, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PbMRgTSppc/ <== This is what happens when I deliberately invoked the error trying to open xdiagnose which I know bombs out each time. [08:15] i mean, it makes the vertical dimension small enough to fit on a page [08:16] what i want is to make it narrow enough to fit on a landscape page, and print the whole thing on multiple pages [08:16] its easy enough to manually tweak the scaling but then i still only ge one page, only the top part of the pdf [08:22] Ascavasaion: weird, no clue there [08:23] TJ-, I noticed. So frustrated. [08:24] Hey, so I have an issue with ping. I modified the /etc/network/interfaces to set up a dhcp server, and now ping reports 100% packet loss when I ping any website. I even changed the config back, but still no avail. Any help would be appreciated. [08:24] Ascavasaion: are you using Wayland session? "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" [08:25] Ascavasaion: as I recall Wayland prevents using any elevated privileges, where Xorg allows it [08:30] TJ-, the echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE gives one line... "x11" [08:33] Ascavasaion: so should be Xorg not Wayland then; hmmph! [08:34] TJ-, What now? It used to work, but I noticed a while back that it ews giving trouble. I used CLI, but I would like to use GUI as well for things.

[10:02] cfhowlett, i run stock ubuntu 18.04 i installed 2 days ago, and if i let the computer sit 1 night running just few apps with 1 firefox streaming youtube then the morning RAM is full and computer is unresponsive. [10:02] repeated behavior or once? [10:02] repeated [10:03] https://imgur.com/a/O6wp6II [10:03] I think it has to do with the gnome memory leak, i think i'm gonna try cinnamon. [10:04] good plan! [10:06] akem: The CInnamon used by Mint 18 had a memory leak [10:06] akem, what plugins do you have for firefox? [10:07] jeremy31, aw :( i'm installing it right now - just adblock plus [10:07] akem: I didn't notice a big leak on Cinnamon on Ubuntu 18.04 [10:08] akem: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/321997/debugging-high-near-total-cpu-memory-usage-of-web-content-application-on-lin [10:08] jeremy31, ha ok, cool then, might do it. [10:09] what's ubuntu's policy on using NOPASSWD in sudoers? i'm asking because cloud-init is still doing it for the default user and cloud-init is originally a ubuntu project if i remember correctly [10:10] jeremy31, i see but it's not firefox eating up my RAM, see my screenshot that i did yesterday, i couldn't do one this morning tho.

[10:20] SimonNL: i know [10:20] Hey again, so i installed cinnamon ok, but it still start up with gnome after i log in, i tried a solution online but it doesn't work, any help to start cinnamon? [10:21] akem, log out of session, click gear icon on login window, select cinnamon [10:22] akem, logout, click your username, then the icon to change DE appears .. but letting firefox stream over night, maybe not a gnome memory leak at all [10:22] jeremy31, on the gear icon, there is only ubuntu or wayland, i didn't find anything else. [10:22] akem: Cinnamon isn't going to stop Firefox from using memory with multiple tabs open [10:22] akem, what package did you install? [10:23] jeremy31, "cinnamon" [10:23] That's what i read online, that i had to install, and it did install all other deps. [10:23] Maybe i'll reboot entierly [10:24] brb. [10:26] Hi folks [10:27] It worked after a reboot, thanks jeremy31 and OerHeks. [10:27] akem, try using chromium and see if it has the same problem [10:28] jeremy31, ok i'll try chromium too.

I've tried the nvidia driver in the PPA and the driver downloaded from the nvidia website, but I can't see the gdm interface. [13:13] unity fails to start when i login, only the x server does, how can i fix that? [13:19] What service does Ubuntu 18.04 use to send system-generated email messages? Sendmail? Postfix? exim4? [13:20] : Package 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate on 16.04 even tough I follow these installation howto: [13:20] https://askubuntu.com/questions/790671/oracle-java8-installer-no-installation-candidate/854553#854553 [13:20] I'm wondering why this is happening it was working some time ago [13:20] I have some old PHP apps that send email using PHP's mail() function, so I need to configure exim4/sendmail/postfix to send outgoing mail through Amazon SES via SMTP, and I'm just wondering which one I should configure—exim4, sendmail, or postfix. [13:21] postfix probably easiest [13:28] adac: Oracle no longer support Java8 and it is no longer available from their servers without a paid support package from Oracle. Please contact Oracle for more informamtion about their Java 8 packages and support. [13:30] openjdk! [13:32] mguy: openjdk follows the same life cycle of Oracle java... openjdk is also no longer active [13:33] mguy: openjdk8 is also not easily installed [13:35] crap [13:35] doesn't make it easy when eclipse/netbeans exxpect java 7 or 8 [13:36] mguy: eclipse is already updated to look for the latest java packages. you might want to make sure you are running the latest versions. [13:38] mguy: the old java versions are archived here: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html (no you don't need a paid support package to download them, but you need an account) [13:44] i used an install script when installing the unifi-controller on 18.04. the controller needs openjdk8. so it's possible. the script uses deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openjdk-r/ppa/ubuntu bionic main - so maybe start there? [13:44] this is the script: https://get.glennr.nl/unifi/5.10.24/U1804/unifi-5.10.24.sh [13:56] is anyone running a gui of ubuntu inside w10? [14:08] so when I was updating my laptop from 16.04.2 to 18.04 it hard crashed (not a kernel panic, no magic sysrq would help). now it's stuck waiting for something [14:08] says "waiting for unattended_upgr to exit" [14:08] anyone know what happened so that dpkg gets unlocked and updates continue? [14:09] i disabled that unattended module [14:10] Hi pals [14:10] sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:11] !aptlock | sambagirl/ [14:11] sambagirl/: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:11] replace with your name :D [14:11] sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades [14:11] !who | sambagirl [14:11] sambagirl: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:11] that resolved that problem for me [14:12] How can I create a symlink between a device in /dev/ such as /dev/tnt0 and a wine device such as ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 ? [14:12] sambagirl: yes it's possible but not supported. you just need a x11 server installed on windows [14:12] I'll just leave unattended_upgr be in terms of disabling it, but I'll unlock my apt database right now [14:13] the2048 i recommend removing it cause for some reason it acts up for me anyway [14:13] acebrianjuan: symlink will not work [14:13] pragmaticenigma: how come? [14:13] sambagirl, what Ubuntu version are you on? my desktop is on 18.04 and it works perfectly, only on my laptop that runs 16.04.2 that it crashed [14:14] acebrianjuan: Wine is a layer that translates the Linux/Unix subsystems to a compatible Windows layer for Windows based applications [14:14] akik i downloaded some app for xwindows off sourceforge VcXsrv Windows X Server [14:14] pragmaticenigma: I need to write data to a tty which will be forwarded to a wine com port [14:15] f [14:15] pragmaticenigma: I'm using this module: https://github.com/freemed/tty0tty [14:15] which allows us to connect tty's [14:17] acebrianjuan: The latest I'm seeing states the following: Starting from Wine version 2.8, giving user access to serial ports is the only thing you need to do. Ports should be detected automatically. [14:17] acebrianjuan: make sure the current user is added to "dialout" group and it should work [14:19] pragmaticenigma: I'm a little bit confused now. Should i create the symlink then? [14:19] these are the steps I intented to follow: [14:19] sudo depmod [14:19] sudo modprobe tty0tty [14:19] sudo chmod 666 /dev/tnt* [14:19] ls -n /dev/tnt0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 [14:20] ^ this last command is supposed to create the symlink [14:23] howdy, does Ubuntu support rebooting into recovery image via reboot(2) ? [14:23] namely I wonder if there is an additional argument to 'systemctl reboot' that will reboot straight into recovery [14:27] anddam: i think you can use some grub program to choose which entry it'll boot the next time (as a one time boot option) [14:27] grub program? [14:27] anddam: "man grub-reboot" [14:27] oh I see, thanks [14:27] Can't you just systemctl rescue [14:28] or is that another distro I'm thinking of [14:28] np [14:28] yep, it is a systemctl legit command [14:28] xamithan:^ [14:28] but this wont reboot [14:29] tomreyn: is it a runtime thing? [14:29] Oh, well then you'd have to add it to grub as target [14:29] like changing old runlevels [14:31] anddam: it switches to a different target, similar to old sysv-rc runlevels, yes [14:39] I see [14:39] thanks [14:41] pragmaticenigma: ok, it worked [14:42] greetings, I have telnet running on my server but I can't telnet into it even from itself. I get the error: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [14:42] there are no iptable rules blocking port 23 [14:43] isomari: do you see port 23 open if you do: sudo lsof -i :23 [14:44] Harlin: lsof -i :23 return nothing. [14:44] isomari: if that checks out, you may want to make sure it is bound to a local ip (I've not heard of telnet using UNIX sockets but you never know) [14:45] isomari: ok, then it sounds like it's not running or remote possibility it's not binding to an ip [14:45] I'd go with not running :) [14:45] hi [14:46] 'ello cpcat [14:46] Harlin: unfortunately, I have no choice. :-(( [14:46] I want to migrate a Mac OSX Server running Open Directory with LDAP on Ubuntu.

[14:48] yes [14:49] isomari: i assume if you ping localhost, you get favorable output? :) [14:49] yes [14:49] isomari, what kind of telnet server did you install ? (considering that on ubuntu it's not installed by default) [14:51] i find it strange that lsof doesn't see the port open [14:52] Harlin, he probably installed openbsd-inetd [14:52] ioria: yeah [14:52] ioria: since that's inetd, it's going to be an on-demand service iirc [14:53] Harlin, i just remember that it's a mess [14:53] ioria: i remember they did that with ftp too. [14:53] yeah [14:53] hmm let me do some googling isomari [14:54] Harlin: thanks [14:54] isomari: have a look at: https://it.toolbox.com/question/telnet-unable-to-connect-to-remote-host-connection-refused-122607 [14:54] You may have to go into the xinetd configs and make sure it's enabled. [14:54] thanks, I'll check it right now. [14:54] It sounds like it's not [14:55] np [14:55] you're welcome. [14:55] It's been a while (since 2008ish) since I've fooled around with inetd/xinetd [14:56] once I discovered ssh, I left that stuff alone but I realize some shops may require telnet for some weird legacy scripts (who knows) [14:56] at my place of work, we still use ftp -- which I don't care much for but I'm just a worker bee :) [14:56] Harlin: Yes, I haven't touched telnet in donkey years myself. Unfortunately I was aleady on that page. No Help for me there. [14:56] ah ok [14:57] isomari: so are you sure you've enabled it in inetd config files? [14:57] it really sounds like it's just not turned on. Until I could confirm that it *is* running, I would keep assuming that it's not running. [14:57] Harlin: I'm going over everything with a fine tooth comb as we chat? [14:57] fair enough. [14:58] Heck, i might even do an nmap on my local server and see if there are any weird ports opened up [14:59] and then do ... telnet localhost [weird port] [14:59] food for thought. [14:59] ok, and on that note .... coffee for thought :) brb === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk === mdeckert_ is now known as mdeckert [15:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates#Using_the_.22unattended-upgrades.22_package does not work for me...

[15:35] I am using three bluetooth devices at the same time, and the only one that disconnects is the trackpad [15:35] (it's an Apple' s Magic Trackpad) [15:35] but yeah, all these devices you mentioned are several meters away, in other rooms [15:37] woenx: For the moment remove/turn off all other bluetooth devices and only use the trackpad. If the issue persists, then you've identified the issue is with the trackpad. If it stops, then one of your other devices are interferring. [15:37] 3 devices .. every now and then .. [15:37] I'm seeing some related messages on /var/log/syslog [15:38] woenx: the most likely issue is that some wifi device on 2.4GHz is causing problems for it; do you also have 2.4GHz 802.11bgn wifi close by (Access Point or stations) ? [15:38] woenx: If you see something in the logs, please paste it (plus about 5 lines above and below) to paste.ubuntu.com [15:38] Ok, One bluetooth keyboard, one bluetooth mouse, and the bluetooth trackpad (which suffers this probleem). Every now and then is every 20-40 minutes. [15:38] Ok [15:38] the disconnection lasts about 5 to 15 seconds [15:38] It comes back automatically, I don't have to do anything [15:39] I think the mouse and trackpad blash, while switching.. [15:39] btw, is it safe to paste the MAC addresses of bluetooth devices, or should I redact them? [15:39] woenx: a related issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7695222 [15:39] c/clash [15:39] woenx: it's safe, as it is for Ethernet devices [15:39] Ok [15:40] This is the error in Syslog: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WxK56rz3GW/ [15:40] (all previous and next lines are unrelated) [15:41] ignore the indicator-sysmonitor.desktop stuff, it has nothing to do [15:42] (btw, it's an apple trackpad, but the computer is just a regular laptop made by xiaomi, not Apple) [15:45] i could try if the problem is also present in Windows... but that would mean that I would need to use windows for at least 40 minutes! [15:47] woenx: The best way to troubleshoot is to eliminate variables. If the device works without issue in Windows, then you've narrowed it down to a Linux/Ubuntu problem. If the device works without issue without other bluetooth devices active, then you've narrowed the problem to be specific to the trackpad and not something interferring. The process is all about finding ways to elinimate variables that could be potentially causing [15:47] your problem. [15:48] Yep. That makes sense. This is why I think it's a problem with this device, not my laptop's bluetooth. (because the keyboard and mouse,e ven if they are the cheapest ones in amazon, work fine) [15:50] woenx: It could be anything at this point. To some, bluetooth is like the "wild west" ... there are rules, but they're not enforced and not every manufacturer follows them. Apple devices are well known to fall into out-of-compliance category, since Apple only expects their hardware to be connected to other Apple hardware [15:50] Aha [15:51] It's a pity, because the device works quite well in ubuntu out of the box [15:51] for me sounds kike an udevd problem not an apple one [15:51] *like [15:51] and much better than in windows, where I went crazy trying to find third party drivers to enable gestures [15:53] Could it be related to this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1788018 [15:53] Launchpad bug 1788018 in Linux "udevd keeps binding and unbinding some usb device und uses all cpu" [High,Confirmed] [15:53] woenx, yeah, that [15:53] (I do not experience high cpu, but the binding and unbinding happens, and it's related to bluez) [15:54] woenx, try some of the worarounds in there [15:54] I will [15:56] Well, at least it seems i'm not alone [15:56] * leni1[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/tTQjXKVsLRXuAmNbZoFjNNrV > [15:57] !paste | leni1[m] [15:57] leni1[m]: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [15:58] pragmaticenigma: that's a message not a traceback or anything. Will remember to break my sentences up in future :) Sorry for any inconvenience caused. [15:59] I also find annoying that bluetooth keyboards and mice stop working after a few minutes of inactivity in order to save power, and they take a few seconds to come back to life. Such is life. [16:00] leni1[m]: Do you have your server setup to listen to only ipv4 addresses? [16:01] It's my local computer so I think by default that's what it should do [16:01] I could be wrong though :P [16:02] Hi, I'm trying to install some softwares on Ubuntu 18.04 via terminal and the download speeds are painfully slow. Any way I could fix this? Thanks! [16:02] By local, I mean its using Ubuntu client software and I don't run it as a server with a public facing IP address. [16:02] leni1[m]: Does your "" [16:02] pragmaticenigma: the latter [16:05] I also tried disabling IpV6 [16:05] leni1[m]: Do you have any "require ip" defined in your configes? specifically in the site-enabled directory? [16:08] pragmaticenigma: no I don't. [16:09] leni1[m]: Is ufw enabled? [16:09] I only have the default.conf file and that doesn't have an ip address config [16:09] I think so. I reinstalled everything afresh and I saw it being enabled as part of setup. [16:10] pragmaticenigma: no it isn't [16:10] just checked using `sudo ufw status` and the response is inactive [16:11] leni1[m]: Does the page load if you attemp 127.0.0.1 ? [16:12] pragmaticenigma: nope. Gives me the Unable to Connect page [16:12] Same when I swap that out with localhost. [16:13] something feels off... but I'm not sure what it is [16:13] lawdalasoon: your connection in general is ok with other downloads, yes? [16:14] adrian_1908: I think you highlighted the wrong person [16:14] adrian_1908: Yes. [16:15] lawdalasoon: Have you tried changing the Ubuntu repository to a mirror closer to you? [16:15] pragmaticenigma: is there a way to reset everything back to the way it was just after installation? [16:17] adrian_1908: I'm not sure how to do that.Can it be done via terminal? [16:17] not really, you could "sudo apt purge apache2; sudo apt install apache2" which would remove the config files [16:18] lawdalasoon: Are you on a Desktop? If so, I would actually recommend the GUI ("Software & Updates") in this one case. [16:19] lawdalasoon: Otherwise, something like this should work: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-select-the-fastest-apt-mirror-on-ubuntu-linux [16:20] lawdalasoon: E.g. if you're in Asia, you could try a mirror in that region. [16:20] lawdalasoon: In my experience Ubuntu mirrors have always been very fast (in Europe). [16:22] lawdalasoon, occasionally, also a full cache might slow down things: sudo apt-get clean [16:22] adrian_1908: I'm on my laptop.Yea I'm in Asia. I'll try updating through GUI. [16:24] lawdalasoon: Yes, through GUI via "Software & Updates" (at least that's what it used to be called, might be different now) and then selecting a download server in your region. There's an automated test too that supposedly helps find a fast mirror. Not sure how reliable that is. [16:31] adrian_1908:Thanks! I ran that automated test to find the fastest server and have selected it.I'm trying to install texlive-latex-extra but can't seem to find its APT repo link. [16:33] lawdalasoon: you might have to enable the "universe" repository, you can do that form the same GUI where you selected the apt mirror. [16:34] lawdalasoon: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/texlive-latex-extra [16:38] adrian_1908: Yes, the universe repo is checked. Though the Add source button is grayed out when I'm trying to "Add " the repo link. [16:39] lawdalasoon: No idea then, but generally that's how you'd enable it. And then `sudo apt update && sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra` [16:42] adrian_1908: Although while I plug-in this example link 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main'' it isn't grayed out. [16:42] woenx: check my bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe/+bug/1822770 [16:42] Launchpad bug 1822770 in linux-signed-hwe (Ubuntu) "Apple magic mouse 2 does not work by default" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:43] lotuspsychje: I am not sure it- s the same thing. It worked out of the box for me, didn't need to install any drivers, and works immediately after I turn it on. [16:43] it's a magic trackpad 1, not the 2, though. [16:43]
